"No," I whispered. "That's not a possibility." My whole body trembled as everything denied what was being said. I stared at him sightlessly as my mind tried to grasp onto anything that could shut down that train of thought. It wasn't possible that Nyx's twin sister was the other woman. How can that be? She would have told me. Why would she hide such a huge thing from me? And again, why would her sister want to kill her? Harm her? It just didn't make any sense at all. None. "Think about it, Sadie," Alec said in a gentle voice. It was similar to the voice he used while he talked to Aspen. I glared at him. I didn't want to listen, but from his set jaw and determination in his eyes, I knew that he wasn't about to back down. "Nyx told you that there were only three Alpha Females in existence," he began. "She didn't say much about the first one, but she did talk about the two of you. Light and Dark. Yin and Yang. She said, You were made from the cloth, but somewhere along the way, the other she-wolf got corrupted." "What's your point?" I growled at him. "Stick with me," he simply said before he continued. "So, if that's the case, it makes sense that the one making hybrids is the person Nyx was talking about, right?" I nod my head, albeit reluctantly. "Now take it a little further and think. She was playing with words. What if her phrase about being cut from the cloth simply translates to having the spparentsWhat if this other she-wolf be, ing the yin to your yang, simply because they are twin sisters? What if the first Alpha Female was Nyx's mother? It would make sense that there are only three of you. The mother and her daughters... And lastly, what if the reason why your wings are the sas hers, the only difference being the color, is simply because she's Nyx's sister?" His words play in my head. The more they played, the more they made sense. It all made sense. I couldn't deny it, nor hide from the truth that was staring right at me. My question remains: why would her twin sister want to harm her? Why would she want her dead? I got a glimpse of those two memories, and they seemed to love each other so much. They seemed so close. 'Yes, but have you forgotten the whole of yesterday's memory?' a nagging voice asked. Everything stops when I remember the menacing look in the other girl's eyes. The taunts. The ugly and hurtful words she said before their mother arrived. I remember how she seemed like a different person when she pushed Nyx. There wasn't any loving emotion in those eyes at that time. Just malice. I try reaching for Nyx, but like many times since our powers awakened, she has her mental shields up. I couldn't reach her. I couldn't get any kind of reassurance from her. My breath starts hitching. Getting rapid as a certain kind of panic gets hold of me. It was too much. It was becoming overwhelming. I couldn't breathe. Every tI tried, the air got stuck. My vision became blurry. I can hear their voices over me, calling me, telling breathe, but I can't. I can't get the idea that has already been planted out of my head. My legs were weak, and I fell, the soft carpet beneath catching my fall. I'm on my hands and knees, my eyes closed as I try to recenter myself. Breathe in. Breathe out. I chant the mantra over and over again, but it does nothing to calm down. It does nothing to kill the raging fire inside me. Beads of sweat trail down my forehead. I curl my fingers into the carpet, et al, all the while trying to push back the overwhelming emotions. The ground beneath begins to shake as power builds up all around me. The air becomes charged, electricity zinging on every pore of my skin. I can feel it. I can't touch it, but what I can't do is control it. I open my eyes, and they clash with those of Alec. "Takeout of here," I pleaded with him. I knew I was losing control. I knew I was about to explode. I knew I couldn't keep it inside anymore. It has been building up. The fear, the pain, the worry. Everything has been building up, and I've been holding it back. Placating it. Placing a bullet wound. It matter of before it becomes too much. Alec nods and wastes no time. He picks up bridal style and rushes outside. The once clear sky had darkened. The wind picks up, imitating the raging storm inside me. I closed my eyes, willing myself to hold on a little longer. I could feel the wind rush past us as Alec sprinted like his dear life depended on it. I only open my eyes when I feel us stop. We are in the middle of the forest. I can't tell which part, and at the moment, I don't care. Alec gently places down, before stepping aside. I immediately curl into myself and tighten my hands around my abdomen. It continued to build inside, and ass it did, the weather got worse. Could feel it trying to break free, but I didn't want it to, couldn't imagine the kind of damage releasin@such power would cause. I tried fighting. I tried calming myself down, remembering that my powers were tied to my emotions. Eventually, why couldn't? I just could not hold back anymore. "Let it go, my precious." I heard a familiar voice, but in the turmoil of my emotions, I couldn't quite place it. With a scream, I let the surge of power burst from insidelike an overfilled balloon. Tears streamed down my face as my back curved at an unnatural angle. Thunder and lightning," continued. Everything felt desolate. Hollow. It was chaos for a while, then pure silence, and finally darkness.
